To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jones GERARDO PA- TINO, a citizen of Republic of Bolivia, South America, anda resident of the city, county, and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cosmetics, of which the following is a specification. 1

This invention relates to lip cosmetics.

The present method of penciling the lips with a lip-stick while observing the effect with a mirror, requires expert skill and special attention, takes an appreciable length of time and requires a certaln amount of seclusion.

The objects of this invention are to eliminate these objectionable features and to make it possible to properly apply the cosmetic by a single simple act of no s ecial skill and which can be performed without attracting attention.

The novel features of the invention which make possible the attainment of the foreoing are illustrated in the accompanying rawing which shows the invention embodied in certain of its practical commercial forms. 7

Figure l is a side view showing how the cosmetic is simultaneously applied to both lips by simply placing the special applicator between the opened lips.

Figure 2 illustrates the effect produced,

showing in detail how the lips are fully 11, for the upper lip an covere Figures 3, 4 and 5 are top, front and edge views respectively of the applicator.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a somewhat simpler form of applicator.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of the applicator seated in the combined holder and pad provided for the same.

" Fi re 8 is an edge view of a special pad whic can be hinged open to itself serve as an applicator.

In the first form of the invention illustrated, the applicator is shown in the form of a wedge shaped block having a fairly sharp forward edge 10 for entry in the mouth, with an upwardly inclined and somewhat concaved rou e carrying surface 5 a downwardly inclined flat surface 12 for engagement with the lower lip.

These two applicator surfaces are usually disposed at substantially a right angle to each other so as to meet and fitthe lips while in an open outstretched relation such as indicated in Figure 1 and thereby apply the rouge over the entire lip area, as mdicated in Figure 2. I

To accentuate the so-called cupids bow effect, the upper edge of the upper lip applicator may notched midlength, as indicated at 13 and recessed or concavely curved at the sides as at 14 in Figure 4. The edge of the lower applicator surface may be simply rounded at 15 to approximate the curvaby mixing an oil with lip rouge paste until the desired state of fluidity is reached. Almond oil is particularly suited to this purpose, producmg a fluid paint which in addition to being effective and not harmful, actually is pleasant and beneficial.

To provide a supply of this paint which can be carried about and used at any time, a pad such as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 may be supplied; and in fact, this pad may be used as a carrier or holder for the applicator, as in Figure 7 where it is shown as having inclined sides 16, providing between them a pocket in which the applicator fits closely and is held by a hinged cover 19, secured by a readily releasable sna catch 20. This construction forms a smal compact convenient packet which can be readily carried in an ordinary hand-bag and is ready for instant use at any time upon simply removing the applicator from the holder which operates after the manner of an inking pad.

The pad shown in Figure 8 has two side parts 21, hinged together along one edge at 22 and held together at the opposite edge by a clasp 23. This double pad may be opened up widely enough only to admit the applicator or may be swung back as indicated in dotted lines far enough for the inclined parts of the pad to be then directly used as the applicator.

Because of its small size, the device may be easily shielded in the hand and by reason of the fact that it need simply be quickly inserted between the opened lips, it will be apparent that the invention may be used in places and under circumstances where use of a lip-stick would be prohibitive. Further, no special skill or care are necessary in the use of the invention.

What is claimed is:

1. An applicator for lip cosmetics having cosmetic bearing faces inclined upwardly and downwardly from an entrant edge on angles to meet and fully engage the opened lips, to thereby leave an imprint on the lips in distended condition.

2. An applicator for lip cosmetics having cosmetic bearing faces inclined upwardly and downwardly from an entrant edge on angles to meet and fully engage the opened lips, to thereby leave animprint on the lips in distended condition and a pad having relatively inclined sides holding a substantially liquid cosmetic in contact with the relatively inclined faces of the applicator.

3. An applicator for lip cosmetics having cosmetic bearing faces inclined upwardly and downwardly from an entrant edge on angles to meet and fully engage the opened lips, to thereby leave an imprint on the lips in distended condition, a pad having relatively inclined sides holding a substantially liquid cosmetic in contact with the relatively inclined faces of the applicator and means for releasably securing said applicator confined between the sides of the pad.

4:. A wedge shaped applicator for lip cosmetics having convergently related faces to enter the opened mouth and bear on the lips While thus distended.

5. A wedge shaped applicator for lip cosmetics having convergently related faces to enter the opened mouth and bear on the lips while thus'distended and a handle dependent from the back, external portion of the device.

6. A wedge shaped applicator for lip cosmetics having convergently related faces to enter the opened mouth and bear on the lips while thus distended, the edge of the upper face having a notch midlength the same.

7. A wedge shaped applicator for lip cosmetics having convergently related faces to enter the opened mouth and bear on the lips while thus distended, the edge of the upper face having a notch midlength the same and concaved at opposite sides of the same.

8. A wedge shaped applicator for lip cos metics having convergently related faces to enter the opened mouth and bear on the lips while thus distended, the upper face being slightly concaved.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of February, 1924.
